The X200 is a low performance chip, and has its fair share of problems because of that...
We need some more information about your computer.
How much memory and is the memory shared or does your x220 have its own memory?
Laptop/desktop and processor too

e.g. in the tech specs of your machine? e.g. when you bought it? Can you at least say what brand/make/model your computer is?

You get some info from lspci in a terminal, but not the amount of memory etc.

@ Sanchopinky
I tried to search for a solution, but you soon get too many results that are inadequate. I don't think you can use emerald without Beryl or Compiz (you can use some themes in Compiz)

Good idea

Can anyone please help me get this thing working?
I have a x200 series integrated ATI card with the Envy drivers installed.

ATI's proprietary driver won't work with AIGLX +Beryl. You should try XGL+Beryl instead.
And if tseliot says something about envy - that's how it is, he made it.

If you had Beryl working once it was probably before you used Envy to update the video driver. The proprietary ATI driver does not support composite extensions and will not work with Beryl unless you are running under an XGL session.

You should try going back to the default open-source driver before messing with XGL. There is a very nice guide on setting up Beryl with the open-source driver here:

Follow the steps for setting up the video and xorg.conf file. You don't have to worry about installing Beryl since it is already included in Cassandra.
